Federal prosecutors Wednesday filed an involuntary manslaughter charge against a Riley County man in connection with a shooting death at Fort Riley.
Juwan Jackson, 18 who lives on the Fort Riley base, is charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter. A criminal complaint alleges that on Sept. 11th, Jackson handled a firearm in a reckless manner, resulting in the shooting death of Kenyon Givens, 16, who also lived on Fort Riley.
According to U-S Attorney Barry Grissom, if convicted, Jackson faces a maximum penalty of eight years in federal prison. Army Criminal Investigations Division and the FBI investigated. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin Graham and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Mattivi are prosecuting.
KMAN had reported on the teen’s death early Saturday morning.
